MT AI Engine · Verdict analysis

The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

The archive drew 11 detections among 75 engines, including four major antivirus engines and ten deduplicated detection sources. Kaspersky named the Androm backdoor, while TrendMicro identified a Nametrick pattern; behavior in the test run was not observed, so the archive should not be opened.

Where this verdict could be wrong3 caveats
  • Most engines did not flag the archive, including BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Fortinet, Avast, and Avira.
  • The major antivirus engines do not show strong agreement on one family; major antivirus engines do not agree on one malware family.
  • MalwareBazaar returned no match and YARAify returned zero malware-specific rules, although both can miss new or uncommon samples.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Threat context

How remote-access malware works

This opens a secret way into the computer. Once it runs, an attacker can control the PC from anywhere: see the screen, read files, install more malware or use the machine to attack others.

Bottom line:It is built to stay hidden and keep that connection open for as long as possible.
